Brian Ferneyhough: Shadowtime

*****THIS BLOG IS NO LONGER LIVE*****To read this post and the rest of The Rambler in its current incarnation please click here. Thank you!*****

Of course, if you're not up for seeing some Baroque music on Saturday evening, there are still tickets available for the UK première of Brian Ferneyhough's widely acclaimed opera Shadowtime. This is a major event, even if it is only a concert performance and not a full staging (we only seem to do concert performances of major new operas in this country these days anyway, so it's a backhanded honour really...), and I'm a bit gutted not to be able to go. I'm trusting Rob to rise out of his blog-hibernation to post on this one.
